Conducting User Research and Applying Behavioral Science - A Conversation with Florian Daniel

Florian is the co-founder of Carployee, an Austrian-based startup that was acquired by RideAmigos, where he is now a technical research lead. In this episode, we discuss changing our thinking about big concepts like commuting, applying behavioral science to tough problems, and changing behavior. 

We also talk about:

• Balancing short-term and long-term research in a start-up with lots of constraints
• Sales-driven development vs. product-driven development
• Shipping fast 

Join us for a great conversation for anyone in product management, UX, technology, or working on advancing their career. 

Florian Daniel:
Florian Daniel started working in the commuting industry in 2019 when he co-founded Carployee, a ridesharing startup born in Austria. In early 2022, Carployee was acquired by RideAmigos, a workplace commuter engagement platform that empowers employees with commute options and incentives. In his new role at RideAmigos, Florian leads the platform's technical research arm to help change how the world commutes to and from work where his biggest motivator is to help solve the climate crisis through smarter, sustainable commuting.
